Sweetwater’s Grave—How I was Im
pressed. a « •• it
On the Etowah, about seven miles from
Canton, in the neighborhood of t'ielil’s
bridge, are s ime of the finest lowlands for
farming, and some of the finest fanner I
have ever seen. The Etowah rues through
th<>»e farms, among whicii is ttee c<4etltl*le i
Field’s plantation. The river has high
bank*, and is bordered, nearly all the way,:
with cane, which is ever-green, and which,
at this season, show’s to advantage, and this,
with the winding, smooth-flowing stream,
makes the Etowah a beautiful river, espe
cially in that section. I became almost
eh hused with infaginatloft at the idea of a
boat navigating that portion. By the natu
ral advantage given by tiie river, of the
flirts isiftcdDscdaiafte'alxwrt one b*lf mile

when timber and laborers arc scarce.
Walking out on that farm with the owner,
llev. P. 11. Brewster, be called my atten
tion to a small efibt of land in nn O[>cn and
cultivated field, which was hedged iu and
covered over with and bushes,
and is plowed aroun* cnrefmly. But why
is the place reserved and not plqtvcd owsr
like the rc**t nf the field ? Rev. B. informed
me why. There Sweetwater, an aged In
dian was buried. Sweetwater, I was in
formed, was about one hundred years old.
Just below bis grave Sweetwater ejeck
flows into the Etowah,'which, ft is probable,
was named for old Sweetwater’s sake. But
what impresard me was, my companion in
fiirnwaL intbffiafcs when they buried old
r, fils Pipe, pan, and
maybe his rifle, or tomahawk, carefully in
his grave with him—doubtless with a view
to ja,,great “Hunting Ground.’’ The Indh

let us consider a Christian example. St.
Paul was a Christian. He was an extraor

ami a poet of the highest type— a philoso

death he «akl, “I am now ready to be offer

“I am ready," and tue crown was ready.

WIT
THE INDIANS —CONCLUDED.
The reader has been informed that the
, treaty party, headed by Major Ridge, enter
ed into negotiations with the Federal gov
: ernment regarding the removal of the Che
rokees to the West, and that a treaty, the
main features of which we have published,
was made and ratifi- d. When Ross heard
of the treaty, he made strenuous efforts to
have it set aside, and substitute one more
in consonance with the views of his P rt, l)U
i were juli;c ' - A
had been gaineitwhich was too valuable to
be hazarded on a temporary policy.
Soon after the .treaty was ratified, appre
hensions wemffeft many sutlers in the
Cherokee country that the anti-treaty party
would become hostile, and, upon petition
to the Governor, arms, amunition, and
troops were granted for their protection,
brigadier General James Hemphill was or
dered to raise a batallion of militia and
place them al Laskley’s ferry, on the Coosa
river, for the purpose not only of keeping
(he Cherokees in clieck, but also of prevent
ing the Creeks from coming into Georgia.
These orders were executed, *nd Jhe batal-
Hoii was ciriamzed under thv command of
M,J„r Cb.uk, A,,«»(<!.«
Cherokees were disarmed, and five hun-
P dred muskets and accoutrements werp sent
to Cherokee county, in case.of any hostile
1 movements on the part of the Indians.
Happily, the fears of the settlers were not
realized, owing to the prudence of the In
dian chiefs in the presence of these precau
tionary’ measures.
On the 24th of May, 1838, the State of
Georgia was to take possession of the terri
tory ceded by the treaty. The iniiitary
were put in requisition for removing the
Indians. General Winfield Scott called
upon the State for two regiments, and on
the 18th of May, 1838, a sufficient number
of troops had arrived at New Echota to or
ganize a regiment and warrant the election
ol officers. On the 24th of May, the regi
ment took up the line ot inarch for the pur
pose of collecting the Indians. Five com
[>anies were destined for Sixes town, in this
county, two to Rome, one to Cedartswn,
andJ,wo to ForUGilmer. The collecting of
the Indians continued until the 3rd of June,
JB-’lB, when they started for Ross’s landing,
on the Tennessee river, where the militia
were dismissed.
Iu small detachments, the regular army
4>egan its operations, making prisoners of
one family after another, and gathering
them into camps; but no one ever com
pjaintd of the manner in which the work
Was done. Through the good disposition
’ipfthe army and the provident arrange
njents of its commander, less injury was
; done by accideqt» or mistakes than could
( jfvansoiwtbh’ '■frem? been expected. By the
qjnd of June, nearly the whole nation were
into camps, and some thousands
j 4cgan their march for the West—the heat
( jff the season preventing any further emi
gration till September, when 14,003 were on
ibe maich. The journey of seven hundred
miles was performed in about Hive months.
The best arrangements were made for their
comfort; but from the 23rd of May, 1838,
When their removal coramencetl, to the
t’qnc completed its
journey, fiwPtfiairWN) persons sank” un
<l|-r their sufferings and died.
Arriving in their new home in the Indian
territory, they set to work, through the in
fluence of the missionaries and the United
Slates authorities, to clear up their lands
and improve their condition, morally, in
tellectually, and pecuniarily.
.The spirit of revenge, however, manifest
ed itselt, a few months after their settlement,
by the assassination of Major son
John, wmTwiiefly
instrumental in negotiating the treaty. They
t were all good men, solicitous for the welfare
of their people, but like all men who are
ij advance of their age, their efforts were
not appreciated by the masses, and they
fell victims to their opinions.
Devoting themselves principally to agri
culture an<l cattle raising. The Cherokees

- and have either embraced Christianity, or
are swayed by its influence.
The government of the Cherokees consists
• I of a Head chief or President who is elected
I for four years, a legislature, and a supreme
■ court The present chief, elected last fall,
isOuchal ata (Charles Thompeon), who to
| described as a full-l?!^???nftive, about 50
years of age, and distinguished for bis up
rightness of life and eloquence as a speaker.
For a long time he had been a licensed Bap
tist preacher, and On the 261 b of December
last, be was regularly ordained a minister
of the Go*pel' twelve pre.vcbcrs assisting in
ll*c preachers
in attendance on the occasion were several
, bearing most unecrlesiastkal Utiles, such
■ as Jim Six, Young Beaver, 00-sar-wi, and
3 Chu-wa-ya-ga-li, but who are said to be as
f tkaie as l*n»bs and as meek as Moses.

lurches, and a newspaper printed in the

entertained that they will ultimate ly reach
